Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The business performance of Salisbury Trading Limited having experienced significant recovery over the past few year's challenges presented by the COVID pandemic has now settled into a more consistent and balanced business flow.”
• “challenges throughout this financial year due to continuing fluctuation in global energy and fuel prices affecting all areas of the business including transportation and raw material prices plus wages inflation and interest rate fluctuations have where feasible been mitigated through improved efficiencies and attempting devolution of some of the cost increases through to the customer base.”
• “revenue has managed to remain relatively steady with laundry sales only decreasing from £11,505K to £11,415K. This downturn in actual turnover was driven by the termination of a specific contract at the end of the previous financial year and further small contract changes throughout this financial year.”
